N New York City yesterday an unemployed worker tore the shirt I from his back and attempted to sell it for g few cents with which to buy food. A policeman, who was in the small crowd which gath- ered, took this starving worker to a local hospital. Reports today are that the man cannot live; he is dying a victim of starvation. Such cases are becoming routine matters in every city. Each day as we approach nearer to winter such cases will increase. It is on such a background that the preparations to make Septem- ber First a national day of struggle for unemployment insurance are being carried through. September First is now only a few days away. We are faced with the immediate task of checking, up on all preparatory work.

Here they plainly declare their inten- tion of continuing and broadening the wage cutting drive. And even after their hoped for upturn in business takes place their perspective still provides for further wage cuts. In other words they are deter- mined to take their pound of flesh, while the jobless army at the fac- propagandist and organiztional instrument to win the nearly one million Chinese workers throughout this continent away from the in- fluence of the semi-feudal and bourgeois organizations, such as family, tong, and Kuomintang, for revolutionary struggles against U.

The paper is gradually gain- ing influence among the Chinese masses. However, it is now faced with a severe financial crisis and if immediate help is not forthcoming it may have to suspend publication. At present, when the Chinese Revoluton is making such gigantic headway and is faced with more bloody imperialist intervention, and the struggles in ‘America are be- coming sharper, this revolutionary organ must be maintained and enlarged. All class conscious workers must place upon themselves the responsibility to help to keep the “Chinese Vanguard” going regularly. . Strike a blow at imperialism!
